Alpha Vantage MCP Server

# Contributing to AlphaVantage MCP Server Thanks for your interest in contributing! 🎉 This project is the official [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers) server for [Alpha Vantage](https://www.alphavantage.co). Here's how to get started with local development and testing. --- ## 🚀 Getting Started ### 1. Clone the repo ```bash git clone https://github.com/calvernaz/alphavantage.git cd alphavantage ``` ## Set up your environment You'll need an [Alpha Vantage API key](https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key). Create a .env file in the project root: ```bash touch .env ``` Add your API key to the .env file: ```bash ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here ``` Alternatively, you can export it directly in your terminal: ```bash export ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here ``` ## 🧪 Running Locally with Inspector Use the MCP Inspector to run and test your server locally with hot reload. ```bash npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector ``` Then, run the server: ```bash npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory ~/alphavantage run alphavantage ``` > Replace ~/code/alphavantage with your actual path to this repo.
